MANITOWOC (NBC 26) — A quiet space for meditation has reopened in Manitowoc after volunteers at Lakeshore United Methodist Church fully restored their labyrinth following 15 years of neglect.

The labyrinth was originally built as an Eagle Scout project but became overgrown over time. This summer, volunteers dedicated more than 70 hours to unearth the circular brick path.

"We could sort of see the circles of bricks underneath the grass and this summer we felt called to dig it out," Cherie Forret said.

Forret, the pastor at Lakeshore United Methodist Church, says the restored space has become a place of calm and reflection since its re-opening and blessing earlier this month.
